It looks really different in your image as you have really brought out the 3D aspect of the target not seen in other images.

Your new scope is superb.

Greg.

Yep it's the running Chicken Nebula alright, teh full frame gets her all in too, she fills the frame and is running to the right

Yep, the new scope is not perfect but it has it's good points...the Starfire is still the bomb though

Love the presentation of the album shots too - you're way ahead of the crowd with this sort of thing.

Thanks Robbo

Yeh, the bug isn't nice, not sleeping well and my chest is like a phlem tanker at the moment, been through more tissues than a peep show.

To Imaging and beyond!

No haven't paid yet...better get too it, I think Friday is the deadline

Thanks Clive, it was a swop ie the flu for a Running Chicken

Gee, thanks so much Alan no need for praises just knowing you liked it is good enough

Yep, looking really good there mate - the colours are quite pleasing (for an NB image ). I like the Centaur's Cave crop the best. Your stars are looking quite tight too.

Get well soon!

Cheers, Marcus

Thanks Marcus...I was determined to get an image, my efforts were thwarted the last two sessions so this one wasn't going to get away!! ...sick or not...be nice to have a warm control room/study for times like these

Great Jeanette, nice to provide something different on a well imaged object

Thanks everyone for looking, I feel rather crap physically but playing with the data over the last few days has been very theraputic
